The
Roberts Space Industries website has a poll gauging interest from Star
Citizen backers in them holding a limited sale this weekend of the Mustang,
the alternate starter ship that was funded as a stretch goal back when the game
had a mere $28 million in crowd-funding. Apparently none of the coding for the
ship is done yet (of course, neither is the game), but word is: "Since that
reveal, we’ve been inundated by support tickets demanding that we sell these new
ships immediately." So here's their question:

We initially opted not to
sell the Mustang alongside the announcement because it is still in the concept
stages. The ship has not been built in 3D in the CryEngine yet, and they will
likely not appear in your Hangar for several months. There’s no cool commercial
or slate of variants yet, either. But the demand has been higher than we’ve ever
seen for a prototype ship before, and so we’ve decided to leave the decision in
your hands.

As promised, when we launch the Mustang, existing LTI Aurora users will be
allowed to swap their ships for Mustangs. An LTI Mustang badge will be
distributed to everyone with a qualifying Aurora, allowing them to melt the old
ship for store credit and purchase an LTI Mustang.

Should we offer the Mustang as a limited sale this weekend? Vote below to
decide!

So telling it like it is, i.e. calling Christ Roberts out on selling a non existant space ship, for a non existing game is somehow conspiracy theory material? Wow...
